Cosmetic Surgey and Ethnic Links

Plastic surgery is becoming a stereotypical ethnic playground for cosmetic surgeons. Although they try not to stereotype, surgeons are finding cosmetic requests predictable when it comes to different ethnicities and their ideals of beauty. Their Chinese clients want their upturned noses turned down. Russian patients want breast implants. Latinos want cosmetic procedures that will create more curves.

Although plastic surgery is performed world-wide, New York seems to have specific targeted surgeries tailored for certain ethnic groups. New immigrants find themselves going to plastic surgeons to have their faces and bodies reconstructed to look like their cultural idols or stereotypical ethnic influenced attributes. There is a demand for interracial surgeons who speak native languages other than English for the demand of new immigrant patients. Fortunately, in many neighbourhoods, surgeons are able to cater to different ethnicities and their ideals of beauty.

Ages for cosmetic procedures range from 18 to 80, and surgeons are now giving away lay away plans for new immigrants who cannot quite afford the surgery. Long ago, many immigrants who were living in America wanted to look “more American”, with European Jews having nose jobs, and the Irish having their ears pinned back. Today, ethnicity is becoming more favourable, and many people from different backgrounds are aiming to look more culturally beautiful than embracing standardized American beauty.

Many Italian women focus on their knees when it comes to plastic surgery, desiring a youthful knee for their preference of shorter skirts. Egyptian and Iranian men and women opt for face lifts and nose jobs. Chinese men and women are choosing procedures that enlarge the eye, because a larger eye is a form of beauty. Many Latino clients are paying for breast enhancement surgery and buttocks lifts to look curvier.

There are some commonalities amongst most patients despite requesting for ethnic ideals of beauty, according to New York plastic surgeons of the Long Island Plastic Surgical Group. Having a flatter stomach and a smoother forehead are main objectives for many patients. Although some might argue that almost everyone who lives in New York is somehow an immigrant, so many procedures are being done to make the patient feel better. With plastic surgery becoming more affordable and surgeons becoming more advanced in technological skill, any ideal of beauty is achievable.
